"When you photograph a face you photograph the soul behind it." --Jean-Luc Godard

My style is authentic, evocative and true. My goal is not to simply capture smiling faces looking at the camera; I strive to capture personality and emotion. And, as you can see from the portraits below, we also have a lot of fun in the process.

"Erin is so comfortable to be around and did an amazing job at helping my kids pose and feel comfortable. She was so prepared for the shoot and brought extra props for various poses. She helped me plan ahead for wardrobe options for the kids and gave really great suggestions for the style of portraits we tried to emulate. The editing was tasteful and the number of prints was above and beyond what I could have hoped for!" --J.R.
